What to expect
Dodger is a tosher – a sewer scavenger living in the squalor of Dickensian London.
Everyone who is nobody knows Dodger. Anyone who is anybody doesn’t.
But when he rescues a young girl from a beating, suddenly everybody wants to know him.
And Dodger’s tale of skulduggery, dark plans and even darker deeds begins . . .
Critics Review
-
Here, once again, is the mark of a great writer . . . we are captivated by ingenious word-building on every page . . . As Dodger’s triumphant path ultimately brings him honour from the very highest rank of society, we cannot help but cheer not only for his success, but also for the success of this ebullient, funny and delightful novel.
Guardian -
Wonderful.
Daily Mail -
Dodger feels fresh, vibrant and full of energy, a triumph that should be celebrated as yet another glorious gift from Narrativia.
SFX -
[A] superb novel . . . full of eccentric characters and carefully detailed London scenes, the tale embodies both Dickens’s love for the common man and a fierce desire for social justice.
Publishers Weekly -
It’s a masterwork from a treasure and hero of a writer, and it will delight you.
